Quest Log: Suit Up!

[modforged]

Who: Dragon mages and dragonsworn.
What: You have been given a quest to infiltrate Sin'thalas and rescue your fellow dragonsworn. Also discussion of scrying orbs.
Where: The sanctums.
When: May 4th and ongoing for a week.
Warnings: Please PM the mods if needed.


Despite the chaos surrounding the disappearances of several Dragonsworn, your sanctum's dragon mage is trying to be calm about this. After a brief discussion behind the scenes with the others, he or she has returned.

"Gather 'round, I have some grave news. Several Dragonsworn have gone missing. We found them, but we are unable to rescue them by ourselves. It would look very bad if dragons were to attack a settlement. That is why we are asking you for help.

"Southeast of Suramar is a village named Sin'thalas. It is these elves who have taken and imprisoned the Dragonsworn. Whether you negotiate or use force to ensure the return of your brethren, it will not be easy. These elves are highly-trained and knowledgeable, far from the refugees you may have seen in the Retreat.

"In light of this, we have implemented a system to communicate over great distances." The dragon mage unveils a magical orb nearby, the perfect size for gazing. "This is a scrying orb. Approach it and think of Sin'thalas, and you will be seen and heard from the orb at that location. It also works in reverse. This should allow us to coordinate our movements depending on the flow of the situation.

"I urge you to think carefully about how best to retrieve your fellow Dragonsworn. You are yet a small force and highly outnumbered. We cannot afford to lose any of you."

[ooc: If characters want to use the orbs, lookingformore is now OPEN. Remember, orbs CANNOT connect from sanctum to sanctum!]

Elves?

[ Nowi reaches up to tug at her own ears as if that will help the situation any. ]

Can they be negotiated with? Give us back our people and Nowi will show them how to make their armor shinier.

[ At least the first half of that statement can be taken seriously. The rest... well, it's Nowi. ]

[theshadowkissed]

Let the Red and Bronze Flights negotiate. We're better suited to carry out the rescue mission.

[pouts]

Rescue mission?

[ The pout leaves her as she considers it. ] How are we more qualified to do that than the Red and Bronze ones?

[theshadowkissed]

[Rose just gives her a Look.] Have you even bothered to learn to about the special abilities being part of this Flight has given us?

[pouts]

No, I've been busy learning how to turn into a tree.

[ While saying absurd things isn't out of the ordinary for her, she does seem pretty serious about this one thing. ]

[theshadowkissed]

Turn into a tree - what? Nevermind, I don't want to know. [Nowi, you make Rose's head hurt.}

As part of this flight, we can enter the dreams of others. Which means we can actually TALK to the captives if we know who they are to get some inside reconnaissance. And then once we have that, dragons all have some kind of magical breath. I've been asked by the Silverglen Retreat elves to prove I'm Green before. [The one time she forgot to act like she belonged.] We can put people to sleep. Like a deep, deep sleep.

[Somewhere out there is a squirrel that ended up sleeping for a really looooooong time one day.]

[pouts]

[ Her lips pucker out in defiance for a few seconds, but then she nods her head. ]

That's why Nowi is always sleeping. It's been a lot of fun!

[theshadowkissed]

...have you seriously been gassing yourself?

[pouts]

I was trying to see if I could breathe fire like a real dragon...

[theshadowkissed]

[Rose glances over at Morpheus and any other nearby dragons.]

Pretty sure you just insulted our entire flight.

[pouts]

[ Frowning intensifies. ] Nowi is a real dragon and now I'm not. What's insulting is I can't turn into one--but they know!

[theshadowkissed]

And yet, I'm pretty damn sure all these dragons [She gestures to all of them around] are real ones too. And they don't breathe fire. The reds can.

So, you're stuck turning into a tree instead of a dragon. Get over it, cause it isn't going to change anytime soon, and let's get back to what's important.

[pouts]

Being able to turn into a dragon is important to Nowi...

Oh! [ She stops talking under her breath as she raises a finger in thought. ]

I could transform into a tree and sneak in. There's a lot of trees in that area.

[theshadowkissed]

[Unfortunately, it's not important to Rose.]

That's a possibility for when it's time for infiltration. How big of a tree are you?

[pouts]

Bigger than I am now!

[ Which isn't much, but that's an accomplishment for Nowi. ]

Um, but I should probably admit something to you before we do that.

[theshadowkissed]

[She would hope the tree would be bigger. And better dressed.]

What?

[pouts]

Sometimes I turn into a bear too.

[mortalforged]

I think we can negotiate. I have never spoken to these elves personally, but elves are not unpleasant on the whole. The little druids are actually quite fun.

[A pause.]

... How do you make armor shinier?

[pouts]

[ Maybe later Nowi can ask how to play with the druids herself, but for now there's something more important to discuss. ]

With stones!

[mortalforged]

What kind of stones? Wouldn't they just scratch the armor?

[He rubs at his little beard.]

[pouts]

Shiny ones. [ Come on, keep up Morpheus. ]

You can embed them in your armor like this.

[ Pointing to the clasp of her cloak. The green gemstone doesn't seem like it'll scratch her skin or the setting it was placed into. ]

[mortalforged]

Oh. Jewels. Yes, that makes sense.

[He leaaaaans over to look at her cloak, then nods appreciatively.]

[pouts]

If you're lucky, I can put a bunch all over your armor. Then when we sleep at night, the moon's light will make your armor twinkle.

[ It looks SOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOL. ]

[mortalforged]

I do like that idea. Would that make me more attractive? I am a consort, you know.

[pouts]

I have no idea what you just said, but yes. It'll make you look marvelous.
